Book It!

Carol at Carol for Peace tagged me for a book meme. I always love seeing what people read.

Here are the rules:1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)2. Open the book to page 1233. Find the 5th Sentence4. Post the next 3 sentences5. Tag 5 people.

I had 3 books on top of each other so you get 3.

1. Footsteps by Umm ZakiyyahThat was the best way to begin. A question would allow her to find the right words, if she would have to convey what she suspected her daughter wanted to know."I mean was that important to Dad?"

2. Son of Stitch n Bitch - Seam top of hood using 3-needle BO. Work stripes on hood as for sleeves. Ribbing - With RS facing, larger needle and CC1, starting at base of hood, PU a multiple of 4 sts evenly around edge of hood and across front neck. (Ironically, this is the only pattern in the book i want to try but that won't be for a while apparently. Library book.)

3. Teach me to do it myself: montessori activities for you and your child - You respond with "Which numeral is the same as nothing?" Point to the numerals on the floor and she should pick out the "O". Help her to pin it to the empty bag. (another library book).

If I had been sitting across the room, the books would have been a bit more interesting. LD's library books would have been fun too if they weren't less than 123 pages. ;-)

About Me

These writings are the footprints of my journey. A convert Muslim hippie chick and free spirit. I love laughter, knitting, quilting, crafting, reading, writing and family life.
Why I call myself wayfarer:
The path of Islam contains a most comprehensive and total system of conduct for the wayfarer. The outer behavior of a true Muslim reflects what is deep in his inner consciousness.As creation is based on unity, Tawhid as it is called in Arabic, every aspect of human experience reflects an aspect of unity. The Muslim is he who has submitted and surrendered in peace and knowledge to this wholesome and naturally balanced ecology... (from the book "Lantern of the Path".
